74 Swans Chords

(ver. 1)
Bell X1
One of my favourites from Bloodless Coup and a downright nice song.

It's the same chord progression repeated for each verse. Any comments/corrections welcome.

Standard Tuning

            Bb                    F
You counted 74 swans on the can*l
            Bb                    F
You counted 74 swans on the can*l
              Dm
And you were glad it was an even number
   C 
Everybody had another
    Bb                        F
No-one was facing this cold alone
      Dm
Cold alone
       C
Cold alone
       F
Cold alone

They were gathered between bridges 
in the steely sunshine
Bookend by ice on either side
Here comes a pair on final approach
Wings like great white bellows
Gathering inward to land
and it looks like grace

You counted 74 swans on the can*l
You counted 74 swans on the can*l
And you were glad it was an even number 
Everybody had another
No-one was facing this cold alone

I thought you were right there with me, 
on my left side
Too eager to get where I'm going, 
I left you behind
But you were on the last watch, 
The passing of the torch
You counted 74 swans, now there's 75
